I know some of you have recently (some no so recently) tried Oolite and have been looking for suggestions of which OXPs to add. I have a bunch in mine, mostly ships for extra variety, some equipment, a few new stations, and a bit of quality of life. Those that are grouped together come in the same OXP, which does not have its own page on the Wiki. **Ships** [ul][li][Accipiter - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Accipiter) - playable upgrade from the Cobra Mk III.[/li][li][Bulk Haulers - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Bulk_Haulers) - NPC haulers.[/li][li][ADCK's Eagles - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/ADCK%27s_Eagles) - four playable long-range fighters.[/li][li][Aegidian's Specials - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Aegidian%27s_Specials) - a playable slight upgrade from the Cobra Mk III and a playable variant of the Asp fighter.[/li][li][Baakili Far Trader - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Baakili_Far_Trader) - dockable NPC alien ship, inspired by a character in Space Rogue.[/li][li][Behemoth - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Behemoth) - dockable NPC Galactic Navy carrier.[/li][li][Clippers - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Clippers) - playable long-range variants of the Python & Boa transports.[/li][li][Cobra Clipper SAR - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Cobra_Clipper_SAR) - playable Search & Rescue variant of the Cobra Mk III.[/li][li][Contractor ZZ1 - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Contractor_ZZ1) - playable fighter.[/li][li][Copperhead - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Copperhead) - playable import from the Archimedes version of Elite.[/li][li][Dragon - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Dragon) - NPC Galactic Navy fighter, also includes a smart missile that seeks out Thargons & pirates.[/li][li][Dragonfly S.T - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Dragonfly_S.T) & [Firefly S.T - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Firefly_S.T) - a pair of playable fighters.[/li][li][Deep Space Dredger - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Deep_Space_Dredger) - dockable NPC dredger.[/li][li][DWCobra - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/DWCobra) - playable Cobra Mk III variant as seen on the cover of “The Dark Wheel”.[/li][li][Eagle Mk II - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Eagle_Mk_II) - playable fighter.[/li][li][Executive SpaceWays - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Executive_SpaceWays) - two playable fighters & three playable personnel transports.[/li][li][Far Arm ships - Elite Wiki](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Far_Arm_ships) - 6 playable & four NPC ships imported from Space Rogue.

Go thread. I loved _Elite_ back in my Amiga 500 days, though I don’t think I got past a “Mostly Harmless” rating. It’s been a while since I played Oolite (even built a ship for it when I started out - [The Longshot](http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Longshot)). I may have to reinstall it and have another go. 😃 ---

Played enough _Elite_ on my C64 that I eventually rated Elite … and got bored. ---

I played Elite II, and I really enjoyed that. I tried Oolite, but discovered I liked Elite II better. ---
